A Geographical Information System (GIS) was used to combine digital aerial photo interpretation with a botanical ground mapping of six 25 ha study plots in order to test the accuracy of tree recognition in cultural landscapes of West Africa. The study documents and discusses a variety of factors which influence tree recognition on digital photos and it is also shown that tree recognition is linked to land use patterns.
